I am getting Pokemon Black tomorrow, but I really can't decide, I know I don't want Snivy, I just don't like it for some reason, but it's between Tepig and Oshawott, I like Tepig, but it's evolved forms not so much, whereas I don't really like Oshawott or Samurott but like Dewott.. so I canny decide.. little help please? xD

samkuroWell to start i would personally chose Oshawott beacuse of 2 things:1. Its hard to find IMO a GOOD water type till later in the game and also 2. Their are more fire pokemon to chose from that can easily replace Tepig. Also Oshawott looks cuter xDDDD

I don't see why everybody is saying that Snivy &its evolutions have a bad move pool. I have a level 62 Serperior, and it knows Giga Drain, Leaf Blade, Leaf Storm, and Leaf Tornado, and I am kicking E4's butt right now.Sure, Snivy might not have the greatest moves in the beginning, but its called AS IT LEVELS UP IT LEARNS WAY BETTER MOVES!!!!! And besides, Emboar and Pignite are the ugliest Pokemon in all of the Unova region.

My Serperior is hands down the best starter Pokemon I've ever raised. With Leech Seed, Rerutn, Coil, and Leaf Blade, he basically destroyed the E4. And no, I didn't have him way overleveled. He was only level 49, like all my other Pokemon. You start off with Leech Seed, Coil a few times while taking minimal damage because of his great natural defense, healing, and Coil boost and then OHKO all comers with STAB Leafblade or Return if needed.

However, my bro tells me this game is a bit of a lazy guy's game, and instead of going to the lab and such like previous games, you just get a Pokémon handed to you right away. So this time round, I'm gonna sort of cheat, and make it longer, by getting one starter, say, tepig, trading to Diamond, restarting B/W, and getting Oshawott, trading to Diamond, restarting... So on so on, then on Diamond, breed each starter with Ditto, hatch the eggs, then trade the original, level 5's, back to a file that I picked Snivy on.

Confusing?

You CAN trade with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/Heartgold/Soulsilver in B/W, right?

Nope. There is the transfer lab, but that's after E4 only and it's a one way trade from the Sinnoh/Johto games to these Unova games.

So I sense a flaw in your plan

Ahh, okay then.

Heh, luckily, all good plans come with a backup - me getting one version and my sister getting the other (B/W). I'll just make a deal with her, though this makes it more complicated and time-consuming. Thanks for that info though!
